EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in the idyllic setting of Mahe, Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean during the 1910s, two religious leaders, Pere Damasene and Rev. Newsam, engage in a friendly and amiable conversation. The serene atmosphere of the island, with its lush greenery and crystal-clear waters, provides the perfect backdrop for this ecumenical encounter between the Catholic priest, Pere Damasene, and the Anglican vicar, Rev. Newsam. The Roman Catholic Church, represented by Pere Damasene, and the Church of England, represented by Rev. Newsam, were two significant religious institutions during this era, particularly in British colonies such as Seychelles. Despite their distinct denominational differences, these two men share a moment of camaraderie and mutual respect, reflecting the broader trend towards interfaith dialogue and understanding that was beginning to emerge during this period. The photograph captures the priests in casual attire, with Pere Damasene wearing a simple white shirt and black cassock, and Rev. Newsam donning a black suit and collar. They walk along a shaded path, their faces animated as they engage in their conversation. The image conveys a sense of warmth and connection, highlighting the shared humanity of these two men, despite their religious differences. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich religious and cultural heritage of Seychelles and the broader Indian Ocean region. It also underscores the importance of interfaith dialogue and understanding, values that remain relevant in today's world. This image is part of The On Call in Africa Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a testament to the historical significance of religious leaders in shaping the social and cultural fabric of their communities.
